ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how to improve diabetes care for Black and Hispanic adults who have type 2 diabetes and are struggling to manage their condition. The goal is to find out which types of support—like help from a pharmacist or a Community Health Worker—can help people better manage their diabetes and take their medications as prescribed.

To be eligible for the study, participants need to be between 18 and 90 years old, identify as Black or Hispanic, and be able to read or speak English or Spanish. They should also be currently taking diabetes medications and have a specific blood test result indicating their diabetes is not well controlled. Participants will be divided into four groups: one will receive standard care, while others will receive additional support from a pharmacist, a Community Health Worker, or both. Throughout the study, participants will need to attend training sessions and be available for follow-up. This research aims to find the best ways to support effective diabetes management in these communities.
